Send your name/callsign into space on F-1

This is the last opportunity to send your name, callsign and a message
into space on the amateur radio CubeSat F-1 due to launch to the ISS
July 21.

At the moment, the flight safety review is coming to an end. The
FSpace team together with their partner NanoRacks LLC has satisfied
the technical requirements and standards set by the launch vehicle
provider.

If everything goes according to plan, the F-1 CubeSat will be
delivered to Japan by the end of June. Then along with four other
CubeSats (RAIKO, WE-WISH, FITSAT-1 and TechEdSat) F-1 will be loaded
onboard HTV-3 “Kounotori” transfer vehicle for integration with the
JAXA HII-B launch vehicle.

F-1 plans to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) on July
21 from Tanegashima, Japan, then in September the Japanese astronaut
and radio amateur Akihiko Hoshide KE5DNI should deploy it into space
from the ISS using the Kibo robot arm.

It carries two Yaesu VX-3R transceivers using 145.980 and 437.485 MHz.

The FSpace team are offering the public a chance to send their
name/callsign and a message into space onboard the F-1 CubeSat.
You will also be presented with a certificate! See this link
